Re: Compulsory acquisition of title
Hi Nigel, sorry to ask your advice again but the LR have said that we can go and get our title deeds but they can only tell us the transfer cost on the day that we go to collect them. Is this standard practice? It doesn't allow for very much planning regarding what costs we may need to pay to transf...

Re: Compulsory acquisition of title
Interesting- thanks. We have checked with the IPT office and they say that all IPT has been paid and nothing is owing on our property (and we have this in writing). So we wait to see what the developer response is- I dont think they should really be blocking this but as ever it is all about money (f...

Re: Compulsory acquisition of title
Thanks - very helpful. I fear that they will try and sting us for IPT they paid at the higher rate and block our title deeds release this way then forcing us to try and reclaim the overpayment.

Re: Compulsory acquisition of title
Nigel, the land registry have told us that, as part of our title deed application, they contact the developer to check that they have no objection to issuing our title deeds and if they do not respond in 45 days they will proceed anyway. This is a shame as I thought that by doing the route that we d...

Re: Compulsory acquisition of title
This is what it says on the valuation website at the bottom: Note: For all those property sales for which VAT was paid, no transfer fees are applied. For all other cases, a 50% reduction is applied on the amount shown above.
Thanks Nigel.

Re: Compulsory acquisition of title
Super helpful thank you Nigel. Am hoping they maybe still have the 50% reduction in costs deal going which will help. It will just be a relief to have this sorted. What is interesting is that the LR have told us it will take 3 months to process the documents despite saying that our title deeds are r...

Re: Compulsory acquisition of title
Ahh- this explains it then! For your comment: The statistics published show that the difference between the 'declared amount' (the figure in the contract) and 'accepted amount' (the Land Registry figure) is around 7.5%.- so the land registry add on 7.5% to your declared amount. But what if we have s...

Re: Compulsory acquisition of title
Thank you Nigel. It seems a bit mysterious as to what value they actually take. We have deposited Our agreement of sale at the land registry when we purchased a property so would they not use this to value or do they have some other way of calculating it? I see that they were offering a 50% discount...

Re: Compulsory acquisition of title
Nigel, do you know how we can work out what amount we would need to pay for our title deeds to the Land Registry- is it based on the 1980 price of the house? Thank you.

Re: Compulsory acquisition of title
If the land registry is saying they're releasing the deeds soon, the developer must have supplied with the necessary paperwork. The relevant documents are not for you, they're for the Land Registry. See my article Applying for Title Deeds, which explains the process in some detail. Thank you Nigel-...

Re: Compulsory acquisition of title
Thank you Nigel. We have completed this file: file eglovismenou agorasti Yes, we understand that we need to pay the necessary fees before the title is released. The Land Registry has said they will be released soon- I presume that the developer has supplied the necessary certificates of final approv...

Re: Compulsory acquisition of title
Hi again, We have been told that we are nearing our title deeds being issued by the land registry and our developer. We have put in place a compulsory acquisition for our plot by submitting our contract of sale and details of what was paid. However, the developer has said that the land registry will...

Re: Compulsory acquisition of title
Nigel- did you have any clarification on my question- what does the compulsory acquisition form actually do when it is in place for when our title deeds are issued? Thank you
